When Breath Becomes Air - By Paul Kalanithi

Diagnosed with advanced lung cancer, author and neurosurgeon Paul Kalanithi chronicles his illness and death in an emotionally moving book, When Breath Becomes Air, which is currently topping the New York Times bestseller list. Our editor Shivani Maheshwari reviews the book

"When Breath Becomes Air lingers long after you’ve closed the book and stacked it on your shelf. It is like watching a movie where the scenes hang about in even after the last credit has rolled off the screen. Such is the impact of Paul Kalanithi’s words.

...should be read not only by medical professionals and those touched by cancer, but by all who wish to celebrate – both life and death."
